First edition, a rare account of the short and tragic life of Ivan Antanovitch, who reigned briefly as an infant Emperor of Russia from 1740-1 before being spirited away after the coup of Elizabeth of Russia in 1741 and then conveniently assassinated in 1764, shortly after the accession of Catherine the Great. A false ‘Londres’ imprint: ESTC suggests printing in the Netherlands (and list no copies outside Europe). No copy listed in the catalogue of the Bibliothèque nationale.
